New York Gallery Guide
If the circus is coming to town then Dog
Man and his band of canine cohorts are
part of the show. High society can’t hide
with Michael Scott’s latest ruminations on
the lives and alter ego’s of his hound-dog
buddies. The Doggie Diaries was created
to ask a single dog-gone question: What
would happen if you placed rescue dogs
in works of art? Could they exist on the
same turf as the Westminster pedigrees?
The first batch of paintings from this
collection will be on display uptown at the
Gerald Peters Gallery.
“Millionaire Matchmaker,” move
over! Michael Scott has placed these
bowtie woofers front and center in a
complex tabloid of history, art history and
operatic stages to play out this tongueand-
tail soap.
Guest appearances by Giorgio, the
mobster from Padua, the Corgi with class;
Miss Phaedra, the cross-dressing doggie
and star of the “Housedogs of Beverly
Hills;” and Zoe, the plus size model and
par-tay animal, who will be down on all
fours posing for her cover in “Vanity Fur.”
I t’s a wild and wooly high society
booty call for the bitches in New York.
Fido is back baby, with all the furs, fuss,
and finesse that only a Dog Man Show
can dig up!
T he exhibition, which will include
twenty of Scott’s masterfully executed
canvases, will coincide with the Winter
Antiques Show, Old Masters Week, as
well as with the Westminster Dog Show.
An illustrated brochure featuring the
exhibited works with text by the artist and
author Marilyn Bauer will be available at
the gallery.
